Document Summary
The following are hypothesized mechanisms for the acid-independent actions of antacids; however, it is unclear which, if any, of these actions facilitate peptic ulcer healing: Aluminum hydroxide binds growth factors and enhances their binding to experimental ulcers, possibly serving to deliver growth factors to injured mucosa. Antacids bind bile acids and inhibit peptic activity. Heavy metals are well known to suppress, but generally not eradicate, h. pylori. Antacids reduce gastric irritation by neutralizing gastric juices: outline the normal histology and physiology of the small intestine and describe how it is altered in someone with a gluten intolerance. Histology and physiology of the small intestine is in notes. Gluten is a protein found primarily in wheat, barley and rye. If a person has a gluten intolerance, this protein can cause digestive problems such as gassiness, abdominal pain or diarrhea. The normal lining of the small intestine (also called the small bowel) is covered with tiny, finger- like projections called villi.
